Ivy Bridge Overclocking IDF News

Posted at Anandtech:

- The max CPU ratio is now 63x up from 57x
- You can now adjust CPU ratios without a reboot, just via a register write.
- DDR3-2800 will be the maximum DRAM frequency.

All 3 are FANTASTIC for overclockers. Hopefully this will allow for a little less RNG (random number generator) when you go and buy one from the store and end up with a lower maximum multiplier (52x, for example) instead of a higher that is desired (56-57x). Now in-windows we will be able to push the chip a little bit further for those last multi jumps for benchmarking!
